CHEESY TUNA CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tuna Casserole image

A super easy and inexpensive dish that kids seem to love. My daughters will ask for this over and over again. I came up with the seasonings on my own, as a lot of tuna casseroles just seemed a bit too bland to me. The flavors really seem to work together.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups macaroni
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup frozen peas, cooked (I just throw them in with the macaroni)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans flaked tuna, drained
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (preferably old)

Steps:

  • Cook macaroni in salted water till barely done, drain.
  • In 4 litre casserole dish combine with soup, seasonings, peas and tuna till well blended. Top with cheese.
  • Bake covered at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or till cheese is melted on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Fresh or canned tuna steaks or fillets work best for this recipe. Avoid using tuna that is packed in water, as it will be too dry.
  • Flake the tuna well. This will help to ensure that the casserole is evenly mixed and has a consistent texture.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses creates a gooey, flavorful casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The tuna should be cooked through, but not dry. Overcooking will make the casserole tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Gooey Twisted Tuna Casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in under an hour. This casserole is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
